• 0.5 cup heavy whipping cream

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch pie plate.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage; cook and stir until crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Drain and discard any excess grease.

Step 3

Place 4 tortillas in the prepared pie plate, overlapping and extending 1/2-inch beyond rim; place remaining tortilla in center. Layer sausage, Monterey Jack cheese, Cheddar cheese, and green chiles over tortillas. Beat eggs, heavy whipping cream, ricotta cheese, and chili powder together in a bowl; slowly pour into pie plate.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until center is set and puffed, about 45 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro; cut into wedges.
